Television Rating For Last Man Standing

Last time I reviewed this Light modifier I gave it '3' rating because even with my AlienBees 320 I could not get sufficient light on the subject. Not sure what i was doing wrong but I decided to test this a gain 3 years later and had no problems. It could have been I was blocking the light somehow by improper placemnt ? It works fine now ! Beautiful diffused light at 1/2 power with subject 15 feet away with my AB's. No shadows whatsoever on the background which is only about 2-3 behind the subject. ISO 320 @ f5.6.

I suppose it's somewhat fitting that XP2 Super has become the "last man standing" in regard to chromogenic B&W film – they were first to market with this film type (okay, pretty much the same time Agfa released theirs, but who remembers *them?*). I used XP2 off-and-on over the last few decades, but this film truly came into its own when digital film scanning started too become more mainstream. This film scans so well it's almost scary; use a scanner with Digital ICE and the workflow becomes even easier and faster, while maintaining the film's virtues of almost-vanishing grain, silly-wide latitude and high detail. And, unlike Kodak's recently-deceased BW400CN (which I also liked a lot, alas), you can still hit the darkroom with this film and make a silver print without going though major contortions. In short: highly recommended.

I am a 275 lb. man so I had my doubts about how comfortable I'd be standing on this but I was very pleased with not only how study it was, but also how lightweight and portable it is as well.

What’s to say? Rating protape gaf is like rating pizza, it’s a must!

Last longer than others.

Great standing!

Love this loupe. Last my last one.

Last long on a charge.

Last long enough for the price,

Last long and solid.
